Abstract
In contrast to SGA, LGA was associated with hospital readmission during the first month of life. Follow-up protocols that include LGA should be evaluated. •Newborns are at high risk of hospital readmission during the postpartum period. •However, the influence of appropriateness for gestational age at birth, i.e. being born small for gestational age(SGA) or large for gestational age (LGA), has been little evaluated. •In contrast to SGA born infants, we found that infants born LGA were at high risk of hospital admission and the maincause was infectious diseases. •This population should be considered at risk of early adverse outcomes and should require attentive medical follow-up after postpartum discharge.
